- Reposted by Kristen A BakerExcited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.

- 🎉My new paper with Markus Bindemann that investigates whether face-matching decisions would change depending on the framing of response options, is now available in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (@apajournals.bsky.social), LINK: doi.org/10.1037/mac0.... [1/7]
- In 3 experiments, individuals completed a face matching task wherein they decided whether pairs of faces were of the same person. These decisions were made with either neutral response options (Same/Different), which shouldn’t bias individuals toward either response, or with biased ... [2/7]
- response options (e.g., Same/Not-Same; Same/Proceed-to-Next-Trial), which should bias individuals toward making “same” responses. Decisions, as measured by criterion, weren’t influenced by the framing of response options--even when we accounted for individual differences. [3/7]
